Intel Accidently Publishes Core Ultra 3 205 "Arrow Lake-S" CPU Specs

[T0@st]

Intel's Core Ultra 3 205 processor's spec sheet appeared online for a short period of time—members of the Team Blue subreddit discovered an official product page (now removed) and other related details. In part, discussion focused on the alleged lower-end "Arrow Lake-S" (ARL-S) desktop CPU being "reserved for OEMs." Previously, this SKU's existence was leaked out at various points back in 2024. VideoCardz has kindly preserved the latest set of information, prior to its removal from Intel's official web presence—showing a potential new addition to the Core Ultra 200S (Series 2) lineup.

The Core Ultra 3 205 model appears to slot into a segment previously occupied by (now retired) budget-oriented Pentium and Celeron products—based on the specification sheet listing of a 57 W TDP (aligning with past ratings). The Maximum Turbo Power limit is 76 W. Team Blue has inadvertently revealed that this is an eight-core processor, comprised of four Lion Cove P-Cores and four Skymont E-Cores—so 8 (4P + 4E). The performance-oriented cores can (Max Turbo) boost up to 4.9 GHz, while the efficiency-focused units are capable of reaching up to 4.4 GHz. The on-board AI Boost NPU is rated for a peak rating of 13 TOPS (Int8). The Core Ultra 3 205's GPU seems to only utilize two out of the four available Arc Xe-LPG cores. The product page mentioned that the Core Ultra 3 205 is due for launch in Q1 2025, although the "Market Status = Launched" segment adds to the confusion surrounding this now de-listed SKU.

They should let those little i3's rip at 6GHz out of the box lol, that would be fun to play with.

That'd be incredible right, the folks who bought the 285K and such would spit blood LOL.

They won't do that. They are nerfing everything to force you to buy Core 9. They still can't understand that is the main reason of their failure in past years.

imagine intel having to replace all the CPUs sold in low end machines too.

Intel is dead. AMD should buy them so they can get the government handouts that are keeping Intel afloat.

My tax money is paying for Intel’s failures and I’m tired of it.

How much for 205 when 225F 6+4 is 284 euro. This is insanity. I'd rather get U7 265KF 8+12 for 399, what kind of deranged price formation is that. The way it's going 4+4 is upward of 200 euro.
